Automotive Rubber Components
Engine mounts, bushes, boots and hoses for original equipment and aftermarket
Industrial
Malaysian automotive rubber suppliers work to two different rhythms. Tier-one plants feed assembly lines with just-in-sequence deliveries and full PPAP documentation, while aftermarket manufacturers hold mould banks of several thousand part numbers covering Japanese, Korean, European and American platforms.
Both rely on rubber-to-metal bonding, which is the process that decides whether a mount survives ten years of engine vibration. Malaysian plants bond with proprietary primers and cure in autoclaves or injection presses, then verify bond strength by destructive test on each shift.
Typical applications
- Passenger car and light commercial vehicle assembly
- Suspension and steering refurbishment
- Heavy vehicle and earthmoving equipment
- Motorcycle and powersports
- Rail and industrial antivibration mounts
